Bangor University has been rated among the 10 best UK universities for five subject areas.

The Complete University Guide (CUG) 2018 league table, a popular resource for would-be students, has named Bangor in the top 10 for agriculture and forestry, Celtic studies - Welsh (third), Italian (third), medical technology (fourth) and social policy.

The CUG also rates the university top in Wales and eighth in the UK for student satisfaction.

This is in addition to being the third-highest ranked university in Wales, according to the recently published league tables.

The CUG complements other data available to would-be students, to help them with their decision making - including the most recent news that Bangor University was placed third in Britain according to the WhatUni Student Choice Awards (April 2017) and won the Best Clubs and Societies Award at the same event.

The university was also in the top 15 of the UK’s traditional universities who offer a broad range of subjects, in the annual National Student Survey (Aug 2016).

Simon Emmett, chief executive officer of the Hotcourses Group, which acquired TheCompleteUniversityGuide.co.uk in October 2015, said: “The rankings provided by TheCompleteUniversityGuide.co.uk are widely respected and cited both at home and, importantly, overseas.

“The CUG league tables increasingly enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the very different Whatuni Student Choice Awards.

“Both exist to help students make one of the most important decisions of their lives - the right choice of subject and the right university for them.”

Vice-chancellor Prof John G Hughes said: “The university continues to provide students with an excellent education combined with outstanding student support and opportunities to learn and gain valuable career-enhancing experiences. We always recommend that prospective students consider every aspect of their university experience.”
